Three o'clock.
Xue Zhu came on time.
As soon as Shen Qingfeng saw her, he said something to the friend he was chatting with, hurried over, patted Xue Zhu on the shoulder, and said with a smile: "You are here."
He looked back: "Where's Xu Yi?"
"He hasn't come yet? Maybe he's still in the lab..."
Xue Zhu also came here after following Cao Yanhua to do an experiment. She was still wearing the clothes she wore when she went out, which was very different from the socialites in the club who were dressed exquisitely and fashionably.
But she spoke to Shen Qingfeng familiarly, and did not feel inferior or out of place because of her outfit.
The whole person exudes confidence and magnanimity.
Xue Zhu didn't care about the many unfamiliar faces present, and took out his cell phone while talking: "Why don't I call him and ask where he is."
"Don't." Shen Qingfeng hurriedly stopped her: "You know the institute's rules, he will come over after he finishes his work."
The First Institute stipulates that mobile phones cannot be turned on in the laboratory and must be kept in a cabinet and can only be used after leaving the laboratory.
If Xu Yi was still doing the experiment, he wouldn't be able to answer the phone even if Xue Zhu called him. Besides, Shen Qingfeng felt that it was just a small birthday and everyone was just getting together to have a meal and have fun. There was no need to make such a big fuss and force Xu Yi to put down the experiment at hand and rush over here.
He asked Xue Zhu to find a seat and called the waiter. He asked Xue Zhu what he wanted to drink and then ordered a glass of whiskey for him.
The waiter quickly brought over a glass of iced whiskey. Shen Qingfeng handed it to her and chatted with her for a few minutes.
Like him, Xue Zhu's family background in the Independent Continent was not prominent.
The Shen family still has a reputation in the Independent Continent.
Xue Zhu's family was only a small family within a small family in the Independent Continent. They did some business and were rich but had no background to rely on.
In a place like Independence Island.
If you don't have a background or support, you won't have status just by being rich.
Besides, here people are treated differently based on their social status. Shen Qingfeng stayed behind to talk to her because he was worried that Xue Zhu wouldn't fit in with the others. "By the way, have you told Sister Nian?" Xue Zhu shook the whiskey in her hand, took a sip, and suddenly asked.
Shen Qingfeng was stunned for a moment, then shook his head, and said with an embarrassed look on his face: "I know she is busy, so I didn't bother her."
"She is indeed very busy." Xue Zhu supported his chin and said with deep agreement.
Compared to them, Qiao Nian always seemed to be busy with endless things to do.
Even though they were in the same First Research Institute, they rarely ran into Qiao Nian.
Among the three of them, only Xu Yi was working on the project with Qiao Nian, so usually only Xu Yi had the chance to meet Qiao Nian.
It seemed like she hadn't seen Qiao Nian for some time.
"But Xu Yi will definitely come..." Xue Zhu didn't think there was anything wrong and continued.
Shen Qingfeng was about to answer him.
Suddenly, a small group of noisy discussions were heard.
"Look at the door."
"Who is that girl? She looks familiar to me."
"Let me see."
Xue Zhu and Shen Qingfeng, who were talking, also heard the noise and both looked in the direction of the commotion.
At a glance, I saw Xu Yi walking in front.
There was someone following Xu Yi.
The girl was wearing a sweatshirt, her baseball cap pulled low, and her hands in her pockets. She was obviously following Xu Yi very well, but it was hard not to notice her.
The personal aura is too strong and too young!
When such an oriental face appears at such a gathering, ordinary people will basically be attracted by her.
